Huge Piece of Shit and alleged Woman Abuser Chris Beard has been hired at Mississippi
Plagiarism talk: I’m on my college’s appeals committee, where I get to hear every excuse as to why their copy/paste job from Wikipedia, sometimes including hyperlinks, isn’t plagiarism. We have different penalties depending on how much of the paper is plagiarized. We just had a student, with the help of a lawyer family member, try to argue that that the sanction should be lowered because proper names shouldn’t count towards the plagiarized percentage. They argued that these names would show up in original content as well — that those words are a inherent to any paper on the subject — so they can’t count towards the total amount of plagiarism. The appeal failed. TurnItIn is a useful tool, but it’s confused a lot of people about what plagiarism actually is.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
I’m expecting something dumb, inconsequential, and grifty. Maybe a new Trumpcoin or a chance to join Club 45 for $9.99 a month. I’m not sure why everyone is taking his word that there’s a “big” announcement. He lies about almost everything. When he tells the truth, it’s only by accident.

Walker giving a concession speech makes him a better American than his party standard bearers. Congrats to him.

United States Ambassador Herschel Walker
The dumb things he’s saying are correctly being judged as dumb, but that presentation — filled with people who talk nothing like anyone around here making snarky comments about Herschel‘s least outlandish statements — recalls the experience of everyone who’s ever lived in a rural community. The focus of the ad is the condescension, not the dumb things he says. It probably doesn’t matter since I think Warnock will win, but that ad plays into everything the Herschel voter thinks about the other side. To be fair, if they had used people from around my community to comment, it would have sounded like authentic frontier gibberish to the rest of the country. There’s a fine line between drawl and a mouth full of marbles.

United States Ambassador Herschel Walker
Early voting started today. I’ve never gone on day one before, but was surprised how busy it was. Regarding the ad with people reacting to Walker’s speeches, I’m not a fan of it. It probably plays differently in different communities, but from a rural perspective, it looks like more city folk dunking on a country bumpkin rather than highlighting the ridiculous things Herschel says. Herschel is completely without substance when he speaks, but I’m not sure if this actually highlights this. If you live in a rural area, you get used to people talking down to you. This ad conjures up a similar experience — people who don’t talk like anyone from around here making fun of someone from the country for saying dumb things. The fact that he’s actually saying dumb things can get lost when the focus is on the mockery. I hope I’m wrong. Maybe it doesn’t matter or maybe condescension plays well with the masses. Surely they’ve tested these ads and studied them, but this is issue that could hide in a huge blind spot depending on your bubble.

5 killed 18 injured in colorado springs gay nightclub shooting
“Anyway, happy thanksgiving.” IFB churches are self-selecting for extreme views that make for outrageous videos. They thrive off the negative attention. I’ve heard even committed Southern Baptists express concern about the absurd radical conservatism of IFB churches. That’s not to say there isn’t a problem, but the context of the hate preach is relevant.

United States Ambassador Herschel Walker
Early voting starts Monday. I’ve seen ads targeting Kemp voters pushing the Walker character issue. Something like, “I’m a republican and proudly voted for Kemp, but character matters so I’m voting for Warnock.” Here’s hoping it pulls some over.

This Thanksgiving and Christmas, hold your lie believing misinformation MAGA Relatives accountable!
My little town had a turkey give away at the high school. Everyone I know has at least one free turkey sitting in their freezer right now. We’re just swimming in turkeys. Is this what turkey socialism is like?

So American Bin Laden announced another fatwa against America? Cool. I’ve actively avoided hearing even a second of that demonically possessed evangelical whisper since 1/6 and my life is better for it. I appreciate all of you taking the mental and spiritual health hit to keep me informed.

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/2nd-woman-claims-herschel-walker-paid-abortion-speaks-92470465- Classical Music Thread
Regarding Gould, he was a fascinating classical music communicator. Here he is taking about Bach and Hindemith and then playing Hindemith with a former UT music professor: Speaking of great communicators, if you have about six hours, the Bernstein Norton lectures are thought provoking. The musical/linguistic ideas he discusses turned out to be mostly nonsense at least taken as literally as he does, but it’s still worth the time to think about.
